In this work, both positive and negative corona discharge of pin-grid geometrical configuration was studied and the necessary modification of the general law of corona discharge was proposed. The current-voltage measurements were performed at room temperature and at different inter electrode separations. The variation of dimensional constant K and corona inception voltage Vo with pin-grid separations S were subjected into the general law of corona discharge using the least square fitting method in Log-Log scale. The relationship between corona current and different voltage (V-Vo) was investigated to find the acceptable value of exponent n. The least square fitting for all variations of corona parameters was based on the highest R-square value of obtained straight lines for individual measurements. It was found that value of exponent n for both polarities is larger compared to the empirical formula proposed previously for the general law of corona discharge.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
